Durham Miners' Association and National Union of Mineworkers, Durham Area (NUMDA)

Description

Durham Miners' Association was formed in 1869. It became the National Union of Mineworkers Durham Area in the 1940s. After the closure of all collieries in the Durham area, it could no longer operate as a trade union. The organisation became a charity dealing with claims and has reverted to the name Durham Miners' Association.
